Foreword from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)

A substantial part of the built environment in India is in the form of residential developments. After Construction, residential facilities are handed over to the Societies / Associations to operate and maintain. There are millions of residential facilities where tremendous opportunities exist to enhance energy and water efficiency, thereby reducing the maintenance costs. Resident welfare communities can also be vibrant by providing good outdoor spaces, vegetation, recreational facilities, tot lots and other facilities. Against this background, the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has launched ‘IGBC Green Residential Societies Rating System©. This rating program is a set of guidelines for Residential societies to implement measures that will reduce the consumption of natural resources. The main objective to launch IGBC Green Residential Societies Rating System is to develop as many green societies as possible. This program is structured and designed to have a very simple approach. This would also enable existing residential developments to incorporate and monitor the best green practices that would result in tangible and intangible benefits to the residents.

I. Introduction:

The building sector in India is growing at a rapid pace and contributing immensely to the growth of the National economy. The sector has embraced sustainable design & construction practices in the past decade and enabled India to be in the International map of green buildings and built environment. While the concept of green was initially adopted in commercial buildings, it is now extending to varied types of residential buildings and communities. This augurs well for a country where the sector is expected to grow four-fold in the next two decades.

The green concepts and techniques in the building sector can help address National concerns like water management, energy conservation, reduction in fossil fuel use, handling of consumer waste and conserving natural resources. Most importantly, these concepts can enhance occupant’s health and well-being, which is assuming greater importance. Today the existing residential stock is a significant consumer of resources. It also presents tremendous opportunities to enhance efficiency of resource use. There are millions of Residential Societies which can address resource efficiency coupled with enhancing the quality of life.

Against this background, the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) has formed a Technical committee to establish Green Residential Society rating system for existing multi dwelling residential buildings. The committee, through various deliberations has come out with a Pilot rating in the year 2015 to establish standards in designing sustainable Residential Society. This has been developed considering the Indian context and the National priorities. The Pilot is upgraded to version 1 after implementing the rating for over 100 projects for past five years. Based on the learnings the rating system will be further improved.

II. Benefits of Green Residential Societies Rating System

• 20-30% reduction in Energy cost• 30-50% reduction in Water requirement• Improved health & wellbeing of occupants

III. National Benefits:

Green Residential Societies can also result in substantial National benefits:• Water Management• Handling of House -hold Waste• Energy Conservation• Reduced Use of Fossil Fuels• Reduced Dependency on Virgin Materials

Draft – Not For Circulation Introduction

applicable.The pilot rating standard mentions the documentation required for each credit.

IX. Physical Verification & Monitoring

Physical audit is unique to IGBC’s certification processes. Before award of rating, the IGBC team would physically visit the project and verify implementation of the green measures.

X. Credit Interpretation Ruling

In some instances, the design team can face certain challenges in applying or interpreting a mandatory requirement or a credit. To resolve this, IGBC uses the process of ‘Credit Interpretation Ruling’ (CIR) to ensure that rulings are consistent and other projects can also get benefitted.

Introduction

5

The following are the steps to be followed if the society faces an issue not addressed in the IGBC Green Residential Societies rating reference guide: Refer the Version 1 rating for description of the credit intent Review the intent of the credit and self-evaluate whether the project satisfies the

intent. Review the Credit Interpretation web page for previous CIR on the relevant credits. All

projects registered under IGBC Green Residential Society will have access to this page.If a similar CIR has not been addressed or does not address the issue sufficiently, submit a credit interpretation request (A CIR shall not exceed 600 words or 5,000 characters including spaces). Only registered projects are eligible to post CIRs. Two CIRs are answered without levying any fee and for additional CIRs beyond the first two CIRs, a fee is levied. The CIR Rulings for the earlier CIR raised by project teams is available in www.igbc.in

Introduction

XI. Appeal Process

In rare cases, credits may be denied due to misinterpretation of the intent or if the minimum threshold percentages are not met. On receipt of the final review, if a Project Team feels that sufficient grounds exist to appeal a credit denied in the final review, the project has an option to appeal to IGBC for reassessment of denied credits or apply for new credits. The documentation for the credits seeking appeal may be resubmitted to IGBC along with necessary fee. For each of the credits appealed for, IGBC will take 30 days to review such documentation. If an appeal is pursued, please note that a different review team will assess the Appeal documentation. The following documentation should be submitted:

1. General information of project includinga. Area calculations, number of floors, occupant density.b. General drawings (in PDF format only):

• Typical floor plan• Site plan• Photographs

2. Filled-in Template for respective credits.3. Original, re-submittal, and appeal submittal documentation for only those credits that

the project is appealing for. Also include a narrative for each appealed credit todescribe how the documents address the reviewers` comments and concerns.

XII. Fee

Registration, Certification and Appeal fee details are available on IGBC website (www.igbc.in) or projects can write to IGBC ([email protected])

XIII. Updates and Addenda

This is the First Version of IGBC Green Residential Societies Reference Standard.
